What better way to experience the romance and beauty of Venice than from the relaxed luxury of a private island getaway just minutes from the heart of the city?
EXPERIENCE
"No man is an island. This hotel, on the other hand, is." If a film was ever made about the San Clemente Palace Hotel & Resort, this might be the tagline. With spacious and elegant suites, gourmet dining, a spa, and a golf course, the San Clemente Palace Hotel & Resort is truly is a league (and lagoon) al its own.
Built in 2003, the hotel takes its name from the lush, green island of San Clemente on which it completely covers. With spectacular views of Venice and its lagoon, the island was once a stopping-off point for soldiers and pilgrims on their way to the holy land, and later used to entertain guests of the state. Present-day guests can experience some of this history with a visit to the remarkable 12th century church next to the hotel.
Of course, no visit to Venice would be complete without a picturesque gondola ride or a trip to the Doge's Palace and St. Mark's Basilica. For hotel guests, these and other attractions close are just a short boat ride away.
